Instructions
- Place the perforated hole vessel over the other one
- Don’t press the top layer too hard else powder will come down when you try to removed the top layer

- If you are using pressing disk keep it but don’t press hard

Notes
- Use a clean coffee filter. Make sure the filter pores doesn’t have any coffee powder traces from previous brewing
- Make sure coffee filter dried properly before brewing
- Always add max of 1/3 quantity of coffee powder in proportionate to your coffee filter
- If you want to make large quantity of decoction but have small coffee filter never add excess coffee powder to the filter. Make decoction in batches
- Always use hot boiling water. I use kettle auto shut/cut off water and it works a like a charm
- Always addd water along the sides without pouring water at one shot
- Never press forcefully after adding the coffee powder to the filter
- Avoid disturbing or shaking the coffee filter for quick brewing
- stainless filter is going to be extremely hot after adding water. Keep it untouched for atleast 15 minutes (brewing time)
- Avoid stirring water and coffee powder in the perforated hole portion
- Pressing disk is optional I never use it still my coffee comes good. If you are a beginner I would recommend you to use that
- Press the pressing disk gently and pour the water gently over it
- Always boil the separately and add decoction to hot milk. Avoid boiling milk and decoction together
- Davara tumblr coffee is personal preference but coffee is coffee in any cup
- Mix the decoction 2-3 times till you see frothy decoction. Frothy decoction with froth milk = perfect strong coffee
- For pure coffee powder 3rd decoction will turn so watery. Little decoction can be made
- If you are using coffee powder with chicory use preferably use 90-10 or 80-20 (coffee powder-chicory) ratio as chicory is not good for health
- Coffee decoction stays good for 2-3 days in fridge
- If the coffee powder you have is not fine grind it in mixie 2/3 times. Fine coffee powder is always preferable
- Avoid mixing instant coffee powder while brewing the decoction
